St Bede’s College in Manchester has won the Manchester Girls athletics trophy for the second year.

Nicola McCormick, head of girls’ sport, said: “The college has always had an excellent reputation for sport. Andrew Steele, olympic sprinter, is a former pupil of the college and one of our current sixth-formers, Alfred Adegbite, is being tipped for Team GB’s rowing squad in the next Olympics.”

Last year the squad won the trophy at under-14 and this year the team of girls, all aged just 15, won it at the under-16 level.
